About Map: Botheration Pond Trail ....
The Vly and Brotheration Pond are the headwaters of the East Branch of the Sacanadaga River. The Vly is 3/4 miles back from Barton Mine Road. Brotheration Pond is another 1 1/2 miles from there.
The full loop via the Halfway Brook Trail to William Blake Trail to the Botheration Pond Trail back to Halfway Brook Trail is roughly 10 miles. This is a relatively (all day) loop to trail to hike or ski, as the elevation change is under 200 feet over the whole loop.

More about Siamese Pond Wilderness...
The Siamese Ponds Wilderness (SPW) is one of the larger Wilderness designated areas in the Adirondack Park. It extends some 24 miles north and south and 18 miles east and west and contains approximately 46,138.43 hectares (114,010.1 acres) of Forest Preserve lands. Associated with the SPW are the Dug Mountain, Forks Mountain and Chatiemac Primitive Areas. During the early part of the nineteenth century, logging became an important industry in the region, and most of the Wilderness was heavily cut over. Devastating fires at the turn of the century continued to significantly impact this natural resource.
Today, however, the area shows little evidence of these past impacts and has become known for its natural beauty. Popular points of interest include the Siamese Ponds that gave the area its name, Puffer Pond, Puffer Mountain, Chimney Mountain, Auger Falls, and Thirteenth Lake.
